Does she answer or keep quiet?
She answers him.
Eleanor kept quiet for a few more minutes, wondering if he was speaking to someone else. Sighing heavily, Matt pushed himself up to his feet and grabbed his staff. He tapped the stick on the ground as he made his way towards her. Finally, he stopped just in front of her and tilted his head down in her direction.
“I may be blind but I’m not deaf. I could hear your rapid breathing as soon as I came inside. What is your name?” he asked.
“My name is Eleanor Bigsby,” she answered.
“Pleased to meet you, Eleanor. Are you here to rob the place? I can assure you that there are no priceless artifacts on display and there are no first editions here,” he said.
“I don’t understand,” Eleanor said. “What does that mean?”
“What didn’t you understand?” Matt asked, sounding confused.
“Rob, artifacts, first editions-- your words make no sense,” Eleanor said.
“What? Are you three? They are common words,” Matt said.
“Not for me,” Eleanor said with a shrug of her shoulders.
It was true. Even though she had a firm grasp on the Basic language yet those words eluded her. It was almost as if they were exclusive to this world. She watched as Matt’s mouth tightened into a frown and he shook his head.
“Oh. You are one of those,” Matt said.
“One of what?” Eleanor asked.
“An asshole. Come to toy around with the blind man, huh?” Matt asked.
“You see? There you go again! What is blind?” Eleanor asked. “I don’t even know what that word means..”
Matt cocked his head and his entire demeanor changed in an instant. His frown turned to a smile and he beckoned her to follow him back to the place where he was sitting. Eleanor was **** to give up her covering, especially when his companion might return at any moment. Yet, she felt that fate was pushing her towards this man.
“I believe you are telling the truth. I believe you really don’t know what I am talking about. I didn’t detect it earlier, probably because you didn’t speak very much, but I heard your tone a few seconds ago. You almost sound ****. Are you being chased? Are you in danger?” Matt asked.
“In danger of freezing to ****,” Eleanor admitted.
“What kind of clothes are you wearing?” Matt suddenly asked.
“Clothes?” Eleanor asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Hoo boy,” Matt said, his cheeks turning a slight shade of red. “Are you naked?”
Does she tell him the truth?
